Capo 2
E
The bars are all closed
A E
It’s four in the morning
E
Must have shut ’em all down
E B
By the shape that I’m in
E
I lay my head on the wheel
A E
And the horn begins honking
E
The whole neighborhood knows
B E
That I’m home drunk again
Chorus:
A E
And if drinking don’t kill me
B
Her memory will
B A B
I can’t hold out much longer
E
The way that I feel
A E
With the blood from my body
A
I could start my own still
A E
But if drinking don’t kill me
B E
Her memory will
These will old bones they move slow
But so sure of their footsteps
As I trip on the floor and lightly touch down
Lord it’s been ten bottles since I tried to forget her
But the memory still lingers lying here on the ground
Chorus

This song, as recorded, is in the key of Fmin (Amaj), not Emaj. It is a standard 1, 4, 5/7, 12 bar progression, so simply transpose the transcr i ption given here to the appropriate key and have fun.
-slimfancy | 7/25/2004 | Slim - notice the Capo - which makes it not in E as the chord progression indicates. This follows the recording.
